The Abyss
04:53
|
|

|
Standing at the edge of the abyss
Dedicated to its destruction
Eternally opposed to its abominations
Laying waste to kingdoms to crush the darkness
A cruel fate, tainted by the abyss
They’ve sworn to destroy
The legacy of Artorias
Betrayed by the fire
Undying, immortal soul
Cursed to spend eternity
In the catacombs
Dying, reviving, slaying one another
A soul that will not die
The darkness of Carthas
Taints the blood of the watchers
The abyss swallows all
The abyss consumes their soul
Their home an acrid, cursed land
Their people, twisted abominations
Darkwraiths roaming the ruins
Of the Keep of The abyss Walker
The abyss swallows all

Devourer of Gods

Gluttonous Saint
Engorged by his feast
Of flesh
Saint of the deep
Where sink the dregs of humanity
Where lurk abhorrent insects
Burrowing into flesh
Visions of a new era
Where flame is cast out
The era of deep waters
The coming age of deep sea
Ascended through gluttony
To usher in the era he will devour gods
Setting sights on dark moon
Dreaming, visions of power
Devouring, becoming grotesque
The dark moon is consumed
The faithful clergy
Serving saint of the deep
Profaning the tome
Dwelling in the tomb Of the Devourer
Delighting in the presence
Of stagnating souls
Slowly, gnawing, mashing
Devouring the gods
The faithful saint
Ever devours

Profaned Failure
03:56

|

In the profaned capital
Where lies the Unfading flame
In chasms below Irrythil
The profaned flame
Sparking ambition
Consuming hearts of those that wield it
Inspiring lust for violence
Upon the throne of the profaned
Descendant of ancient conqueror
Leader of those once subjugated
Their blade and their shield
Suffering loss
Forsaking the shield
Wielding blade
With nothing to lose
He shall become a lord of cinder
To put the profaned flame to rest
Flames reigned down upon the capital
Scorching human flesh
Consuming subjects profaned
Disfigured burning corpses
litter the dead city
Where he sits upon the throne
Surrounded by the silence
Of all of his failure
In his failures he leaves
The keys to his death
With the subjects left in doubt
And his dearest friend
A pact of death
If his duty he betrayed

The Fading Flame

The Fading Flame
Slayer of the demon prince
Imbuing blade with flame
A worthy champion
But a cursed destiny
The last hope of his line
The last hope of an heir
Worthy of linking the flame
Destined to be a lord
A cursed path before him
Rituals unspeakable
Destiny unattainable
For the feeble bloodline
Cursed with immortality
Two souls becoming one
To accomplish sacred duty
Forsaken by the heir
The curse of the flame,
The legacy of lords,
Let it all fade into nothing
Let us remain among the cursed
A deteriorated failure
Incapable and frail
Royalty breeds weakness
And the fire fades

That Mountain
05:50
|
|

Chained upon that mountain
The mountain that cries
The cries that freeze me
Freeze to mountain of trauma
The world smirks with its whip
Lashing at blistered scars
Drawing that blood again
Reliving that blood again
The mist of the mountain
Engulfed her fragile self
Painted that blood again
Stained that blood again
(Damaged)
Unfold the aperture kiss the stale blade
It loves her like no other
Make love to the safety that is the pain
It loves her like no other
At the cliff of the mountain yet again
Hugging herself holding in vain
Begging herself to stand again
Beating her flightless wings she jumps
Pounding battered concrete
It loves her like no other
The world smirks with its whip
Lashing at blistered scars
Drawing that blood again
Reliving that blood again
Pounding battered concrete
It loves her like no other
At the peak of the mountain yet again
Triumphant is the relapse to pain
Knowing that she'll stand here again
Beating her flightless wings she falls

Outsider
04:45

A struggle stripped of it's wings
Will never reach liberation
Bloodied stumps beating in vain
Clipped by liberal consignation
Cast out by non-conformity
Death to cis-hetero normativity
To every petty traitor
And every gilded gay
You betrayed your kind
For a class that killed our kin
A struggle stripped of it's class
Looses it's teeth to bite back
Raise your fists and guns
Against capital's inclusion.
Standing with solidarity
Death to cis-hetero normativity
To every petty traitor
And every gilded gay
We will fight along our kind
With a class that will kill your kin.

Reek of Putrescine
03:43
|
|
||
|
In gilded palaces
Lairs of pure excess
Symbols of wealth wither
Reclaimed in decay
Luxury the lair of vultures
The stench of death abounds
Vomiting half digested carrion
Putrefied flesh covers the ground
The reek of Putrescine
Like 1000 rotting corpses
An omen of your own decay
Rotting inside out
Your wealth is built upon death
Your lifestyle breeds decay
Necrophagic Greed
The only thing you know
Opulent this sepulcher
Of your humanity
The vultures ghoulish feast of death
A reflection of your soul
The fetid stench to haunt you
Until in the ground you go
Consuming greed
Litters the land with corpses
The fetid stench to haunt you
Until I’m the ground you go

In a Setting Sun
06:33

Contradictive beast with mitts of gold
Has fallen and failed on it's promises told
Freedom from and freedom to
Was built for the rich and not for you
It's easier to imagine
The end of the world
Than the end of capitalism
From the vampire castle
To the churning streets
A movement can't take hold
From lofted towers
All figures high and wealthy
Will be stripped of power
No false morality will save
Their heads from slaughter
For every Rich man's charity
Are thousands in poverty
Every figure's public face
Hides the weight of suffering
Depressive hedonia has seized the working class
Hopeless indulgence born from impossibility
As our world ends a new is struggling to be born
This shifty beast's reign counts for centuries
Enclosing all spaces public and common
The revolts and struggles to upend it
Are all but memories to us
A legacy of failures and defeats
This shifty beast's paws are slipping
It cannot escape the contradiction
History guide this hammer and sickle
To behead this beast of capital
Let no struggle be lost in vain
The world is caught in a setting sun.

Got this as a recommendation as I was buying a Kluizenaer LP and instantly had to buy it! Great music (To the Throat is leaving me breathless). I'm sad though. Sad because all the merch is sold out and I desperately NEED a Feminazgul Patch!
